middle age sister…very faithful. She invited them for lunch to her small and simple apartment. Now he said he knew the sister had a nervous problem….somewhat of a mental condition….like an anxiety disorder…but he never knew why and didn’t ask. Through the course of conversation, she relates that she used to have a house. And she was bent on having the perfect house. Perfect decorating…perfect furniture…everything just so. She came home one night and her entire house was engulfed in flames. She lost everything. As a result, she had a nervous breakdown and has never fully recovered.
Call me a Cynic, but I can only imagine the REAL story being "A sister who had mental issues, lost her house with all her belongings, that was fully paid for, during the height of the Real Estate Market. After Receiving Hundreds of Thousands of dollars in insurance money, an Elder in her congreagation, recognizing her mental issues, convinced her how much Jehovah would appreciate her "sacrifice" if she donated it all to the WBTS and lived the rest of her life in a 1 bedroom apartment."
